Frequently Asked Questions

Can 37mm skittle grenades be used for crowd control?

Yes, 37mm skittle grenades can be used as less-lethal ammunition for crowd control. Testing showed that after adjustments, they achieved effective dispersion and energy transfer without causing lethal penetration.

How was the effectiveness of 37mm skittle grenades tested?

Effectiveness was tested using paper targets for dispersion and a liquid-filled jug for energy impact. Ballistic gel was also used, with slow-motion cameras analyzing projectile spread and penetration to certify them as less-lethal.

What were the results of the initial 37mm skittle grenade test?

Initially, the 37mm skittle grenades did not appear to have sufficient mass or energy for effective dispersion. Adjustments were made to the setup to improve their performance.

What makes 37mm skittle grenades suitable for less-lethal applications?

They are considered less-lethal because testing on ballistic gel showed they spread out, with limited penetration and no deep wounds, leaving only sugar residue on the surface.
